Key Points

  • The Membrane Kymograph Generator automates kymograph analysis for dynamic cell boundaries.
  • It is a free, open-source software compatible with x86-64 and ARM64 systems.
  • The software features a GUI for user-friendly operation and can be installed in various environments.
  • Accessible Python source code and documentation enhance user experience and support further development.

Abstract

Membrane Kymograph Generator is a free and open-source software, licensed under GNU General Public License 3.0 or later. This software is cross-platform: It can be graphically installed on both x86-64 and AArch64/ARM64 computers, running either Windows, macOS, or any standard Linux distribution. The software is distributed as single installer files (and portable executables) targeting specific hardware architectures and operating systems, and hence, it can be installed natively without any dependency resolution. The source code, detailed documentation, specific installers, portable binaries, and test data are freely available at https://github.com/tatsatb/membrane-kymograph-generator . Additionally, since the software is written in Python, it can also be installed inside any Python environment using PIP package manager (package ID: https://pypi.org/project/membrane-kymograph ) and can also be interacted via a built-in Python API.
